This iconic model, produced between 1961 and 1974, left its mark on motoring history with its avant-garde styling and technologies inspired by racing cars, notably the Jaguar D-Type, which had won Le Mans three times. The 3 Series featured technical improvements such as reinforced brakes, power steering as standard, and a new automatic transmission as an option. The V12, fitted with four Zenith carburettors, produces around 272 bhp, enabling the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/ h in less than 7 seconds. The long-wheelbase chassis offered more interior space, making the 3 Series a more comfortable car, available as a cabriolet or 2+2 coupé. Visually, the 3 Series is recognisable by its wide front grille, widened wheel arches and four tailpipes. Produced until 1974, this version marked the end of the E-Type era, with just 15, 290 units produced, including a few rare six-cylinder models.
